Ok I will. I wasn't planning to because I don't really have the time to contemplate these things and write them as I am working on my first novel, but nobody else seems to be noticing.

Okey dokey, there's still plenty of time for others to enter, but since we've already got one person, I'll enter as well. ^_^

Okay, here's my entry. ^_^
Searching for Hapiness
Someone once told me
That what I strive for is unattainable
That happiness is an illusion
Derived from a desperate desire
To find the truth behind all existence
Often I wonder what these words mean to me
This unattainable illusion
This desperate desire
The truth
Sometimes I feel like falling down
I feel like walking away from everything
As if happiness is unattainable
As if what I desire does not exist
But I always find it within myself
To keep on walking
Blindly towards the light
Never straying from my path
I walk forward
I continue to search for my desire
Always awaiting the day after today
Always looking forward to tomorrow
Forever searching for happiness

Question: is it one entry per person? I have so many it'd be really hard choosing... ><;

Fallen Stars In the checkered sky, A constellation hides, Its face a blurry reminder, Of History’s troubled past, The heroic figures whom had fought, To save the country pain, As they fell, Their mission lost, Upon a blood red plain

Wakefulness
Over eastern hills the sun doth rise,
The first ray's glint on the horizon,
Stirring as an innocent from sleep,
Making haste the shadows weep.
Dawn now calls the birds to sing,
The morning breeze sweeps by,
An angel choir in heaven doth resound,
With sun casting light upon the ground.
Awe and wonder the world forgets,
The darkness they recall instead,
Remember that the day is near,
And then dismiss all trace of fear.
World's eye - the sun it opens wide,
The glow of life exploits its gaiety,
Orange hue streaks through the clouds,
Heaven unveiled from its shrouds.
So then it comes upon the world,
The path of destiny opened from the ether,
Now left behind are the tears of dread,
For the wickedness we have fought is dead.

After much deliberation, this was the one I chose.
Dancing in the Fast Lane
Your voice is full of shadows, of demons in the night;
Your hands are clenched so tightly, yearning for a fight;
There’s a dark ambition that’s crouched behind your smile,
And I see an evil in you that fills me with denial.
Your heart is rusted metal, edged with switchblade knives;
Your mind’s a well of poison, that seeps into our lives;
Your soul is bitter hatred that cannot stand the light,
And I see an evil in you that calls me to the night.
And you are wrought of silver darkness in every shape and form,
You are the siege that kills us all and you’re the coming storm.
You seek to end the happy days and you will see it through,
And while I shy away from darkness, I will be dark with you.
Your songs are all the voices that I block out of my head;
Your words are all the fears I hide that fill me up with dread;
Your dances always pull me close, then push me far away;
And all the music you play to me is feral, fast, and fey.
I look into your deepest fears and I see nothing there;
I always seem to cut the hands I wind around your hair.
I never know when you’ll appear or what will follow after,
And I always seem to lose my mind when I hear your laughter.
And you are wrought of flowing blood and of danger dire,
You are the knife upon the wrist and you’re the blazing fire.
You seek the end of all the love and will see it through,
And while I shy away from darkness, I will be dark with you.
I spend the hours of my life, longing for your kiss;
I waste away when you are gone, craving for the bliss.
I live my life like an addiction, and you’re my only drug,
And I know you see I need your love; please don’t look so smug.
I cut myself on your lips and the pain just so sweet,
I break my arms around your waist and fall down at your feet,
I look up into your eyes and there I see the flame,
And I know there’s no turning back, with only I to blame.
You are wrought of pulsing blood and mine is now to spill,
And I can only hear your voice once my heart is still.
I knew you wanted the end of me and that you’d see it through,
But I lived in ecstasy when I was dark with you.

Alright uh....I'm kind of in a slump. Nothing I'm writing makes sense or is any good. I've written three pieces for this contest, and here's the one I chose. I'm really very sorry if the religion in it offends you; it's all true and therefore all I could think of to write about. And I'm depressed because PromisedSword's entry is so good.... stare And I'm not a pushy religious person; I'd never do that, so please don't misinterprete.
Ethereal Light
Staring at a wooden cello
Thinking of a quiet fellow
The dark room engulfs my mind
My thoughts swelling, none too kind
Silent, but for a little thunder
I sit up straight and begin to wonder
What if there was nothing beyond my death?
Nothing after that last small breath?
Thoughts reaching the darkest paths
Philosophies shrinking under forceful wraths
Heart aching gently without my knowing
A dark little knot quickly growing
And tears abruptly spring from my eyes
Flowing rapidly from empty lies
"No no no," was my only thought
As in my room I cried and fought.
A light rippled throughout my heart
A kind voice saying, "You gave me a start!
I blame you not, for others doubt too
And when you've bounced back, there's room in the crew."
The light blazed even brighter
Dark knots turning lighter.
All doubt dispelled
Though scars still dwelled.
But even those soon shall heal
For my belief is truly real
And here is proof that I will always fight:
I have seen the Ethereal Light.
